The REO Lounge - Part IV

[Rhapsodies Fire]

I hope the talk with your daughter goes well. Irrational hostile behavior would be setting off warning bells and lights like crazy.

Ya...that's my concern. We are familiar with what we call "spin outs" where one gets all worked up and gets angrier and angrier, yammering on without so much as taking a breath...it can get ugly. It's hard to explain. Anyway....we're aware of it when it happens here at home, and I jokingly note after a spin out that "dude, your PTSD is showing again, you might want to tuck it back in." LOL. (Okay, I freely admit that some may not find this humorous, but at times the predictability is...to me anyway) But this is something that we're accustomed to, it is part of our dynamic, we don't share it with others...meaning, it never happens at someone else's house and it doesn't happen when guests are here at ours. What bugs me is if this guy's letting the crazy out in our house....what's he like at home? My husband even looked at his daughter several times during the exchange to see what her reaction was and she had her head down, focusing on the baby. Wouldn't make eye contact. He was able to diffuse the situation by redirecting the conversation after the guy made it clear he wasn't going to engage in a two way conversation....and like a lamb this guy totally followed, as if his outburst never even happened. I just hope she doesn't get defensive when we ask her about it.

Johni....he showed real restraint. We need to find out more about the situation before we start putting together bail funds. Given Wayne's history, I'm honestly surprised he took the time to calm the guy down. Knowing what he's capable of, I'm glad he did. That twig of a kid wouldn't have had a chance. Too many bad things could have happened. One of his favorite sayings is "...I'd get out of jail before he'd get out of the hospital."

I'm going to ask this here to cause I know there's some computer geniuses here:

I spent all day working on a paper for school, saved it, and can't find it. I started off opening it from an email I sent myself in gmail. finished it after about 7 hours of work. saved it before I finished it, then when I went to attach it into my online course, I couldn't find it. It wasn't on my desktop where stuff I save gets saved when I'm using firefox. wasn't in documents. I inadvertently closed firefox in my panic to find it, so my history was deleted. did a search through my computer. still can't find it. Called my IT friend, but he's a Mac user. He couldn't help me find it either.

I'm afraid it may have been saved to a temporary file. but it seems that if I was using office word, there should have been a version saved in my computer....

check your "Downloads" folder, or open Word and under the File menu, it should be listed as a recent file- then open it, save as to your preferred location.

I have twin boys that are now 13 I really miss the days when they would both climb into my recliner with me, one under each arm. We'd kick back and watch Jimmy Neutron or some other silly cartoon I'd lean over and lay my cheek on the top of each of their heads, smell their watermelon kids shampoo and kiss them on the tops of their heads. They think they are too big for that now, and I guess they really are.
Treasure the cuddling years while you can.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TARYN!

Yikes....our "someday to be" son in law just about got tossed out of our house on his head. Dude just flipped out about football...an irrational rant that turned hostile, complete with yelling at my husband. I'm really glad we have mellowed out in our old age. Still in shock. going to have to have a talk with our daughter about that. that's the father of our grandson...and I'm tellin ya. That. was. not. normal.

That is concerning for both your daughter and grandson. I'm guessing you've never seen any signs of abuse on your daughter or grandson? Even if it's not physical that's not a good example for your grandson to grow up with. I know for a fact that kids mimic their parents behavior.

we use that shampoo!!

my oldest Rylie will be 18 next month, and about to graduate high school. she stopped being cuddly a LONG time ago.. you really do need to enjoy them as much as possible when they're little, and hold onto those memories.

IF you wait long enough you get to cuddle with the grandkids then send them home. Or get a lap cat.

My wife is allergic to cat hair. We've got a maltipoo that's 5 years old but has that still a puppy look. He's tiny, a little over 4 pounds. He's my new recliner buddy.

I've still got my 7 year old that will join me on my recliner and I DO smell and kiss her head. It's wonderful. The 10 year old doesn't dig this anymore. Too old for that.

Good morning Reoville.

Just made 250ml of Quince and I now can rest easy for another 3 weeks. Averaging 12mls of 6mg/ml a day since I got my Woodvil and RM2. Seems like a lot but it is hard for me to put that puppy down sometimes.

Have a great day!

Well my grandson is only 3 months old...and no, not until she wouldn't make eye contact. That was a first. She's always been headstrong and confident. This was just weird.

HAHAHA! My 14 year old would totally still crawl into my chair and cuddle me if I let her. Oof...too heavy Actually, she clearly remembers being Wayne's cuddle buddy in the recliner and couch. And she would love nothing more than to cuddle with him like she used to...but she knows she's too big for that now. Some days it makes her sad. So we're working on being more huggy these days...so she doesn't feel like she's unloved. Silly teens.

See?
